Yea,I saw that.Thought he was a lock for A&M.I know we made his final list.
Funny, we went after his Dad extremely hard back in the mid 80's.He was pretty much the top DL in the state and played at Clarke Central and ended up going to USCe.
Lets just say he wasn't hurting for transportation after he decided on the Gamecocks.

I'm not so sure we should talk about the "Bagmen Transportation Services Company" from the 1980s though - just a guess.

Great to see. Still worried about his interest in UT, though.

Thats on USCe not us.But his kid is a beast and is rated as the top O-lineman in the country.
Hope to God we get em but very doubtful.

I will never put it past Sale and the fact that we continue to churn out great RBs which make OL look verrrrry good when they do their job.

I've had a pretty busy week school wise, but I'll make sure to update the OP tomorrow night.

Anyone want to fight Evander Holyfield?

Does ND really cost $250k/year in tuition?

Not even close. I believe the most expensive tuition out there is around 50k its about that at Columbia,U of Chicago and Tulane and I know all those schools are in the top 10 for tuition expenses.

I think he meant that it would be the totals and not just by year. Or at least I hope so.

This logic is ridiculous. Just absurd.

Education in general, yeah for most players, it's more important
The quality of that education is not based on tuition, Mr. Holyfield. Correlation is not causation, you know the drill.

Sounds to me like someone at Notre Dame threw some big numbers and faulty logic his way and he bit on it. You could go to Notre Dame, major in humanities or psychology or religion studies and fail to ever crack $60,000 a year in your career same as you could go to UGA, major in business, and be set for life in a six figure job in the economic hub of Atlanta where people know you as a former UGA football player. Like any major college, it's all about what you do when you get there; a degree is not a voucher for a good job, just a certificate of completion.

If education is more important maybe he should tell his son not to play sports? How much more can you learn being a full time student instead of a full time athlete and part time student? Its a really stupid thing to say.

Solid counterpoint given that his kid seems well-spoken and attends a solid private school in Woodward.
Posted on 9/9/15 at 11:11 am to smokehouse_83
Honestly, as long as the kid 1) graduates with a meaningful degree (ie: not 'Communications' or 'Anthropology') and 2) earns that degree at a decent school, he'll be fine. Graduating with a 3.8 vs a 3.0 is really going to have very little impact on initial job prospects. And once he has 5 years of experience, the school he went to and the grades he got are pretty much meaningless.
I have a feeling the problem most student-athletes run into is degree selection, not school selection. They opt for a worthless degree because it's easy, or fun, or because they aren't capable of handling the sport & class.
The opposite can be said about degrees too - don't chase a PhD or Ivy League school thinking you're going to buy yourself a high paying career. I've got a buddy with a law degree from UGA who can't find a job and is doing clerical work right now. I know another guy who got a PhD at Emory and got his first salaried job last year...6 years after I got mine and we're the same age. He's probably swimming in debt too. Meanwhile I graduated pretty much tuition-free from UGA, locked in a job before I graduated, and probably make more than 95% of people my age. I don't make more than 95% of ND grads...but I know I make more than the majority of them, at a fraction of the cost they paid.
ETA...sorry for the derail
